On opening day Kev they probably had other things on their minds. Iv'e noticed at the markets in particular
that Turkish people will give a dog on a lead a wide berth and in some instances you can see fear in their faces.
In the UK it's a similar situation with Pakistani people, they will cross over the road to avoid a dog. Not everyone
loves your dog as much as you obviously do Kev but I would say that the charity shops need all the help they can get.
